Objetivo
The proposed project regards the implementation of a prototype autonomous syste m for producing fresh water by desalting seawater. The system is thermally driv en and uses collectors and a heat exchanger for water heating. The whole therma l procedure is done under vacuum, thus increasing the system efficiency. Pumps, vacuum pump lighting and other electricity consumptions are powered by photovo ltaics. The RTD goals are: -The efficient use of solar collectors (type of col lectors, heating fluid etc.) for producing the heat for heating and evaporating the sea or brackish water. -Design and manufacturing of the water vapour cond ensation surface. -Design and manufacturing of the heat exchanger for heating the sea or brackish water. -Determine the right size of photovoltaics to power all auxiliary equipment. -Optimisation of the whole system performance through field-testing. The proposed work is considered to be pre-competitive for th e following reasons: -Research is needed to determine the type of materials to be used in all system components. -Research is needed to determine the size o f the system components and also accomplish the whole system performance optimi sation. -Further work will be needed after project completion before product m arketing. In particular: Field trials will have to confirm system performance t hat is, a prototype installation must be undertaken in a remote coastal area to study and test the system. The innovative proposed desalination method has been accepted as patent. One prototype system will be installed at Megisti isla nd, Aegean sea, Greece. The system will consist of about 200 m2 solar collector s, 7.5 kWp photovoltaic array and 1000 Ah battery storage. The electrical sub-s ystem operation voltage will be 60 V.
